Another new channel turns up this week, this time in the form of the dutch speaking Target Lock Channel.
They seem to have a very strong commentator that has no trouble keeping a conversation constant and also discusses the match enthusiastically which helps to hold attention.
However the down side is this death star surface mat. I know of a least a couple of other channels that started with this play mat only to discard it as soon as possible. The main problem is that the manufacturer wanted to give an impression of depth but the extra long shadows provide too much contrast and effectively act as camoflage making it hard to make things out even whilst the play area is well lit.

X-Wing Trainingsfight 1
Another new channel to show up this week is SZ-Wing which I'm guessing is a German speaking channel.
I have to guess because a combinaion of extremely low level audio and almost complete lack of conversation between the players makes it hard to tell. This however could be an effort not to alienate english viewers and produce a more cross culture video product.
The video quality is however very and clear, with maybe a lack of lighting but otherwise excellent.
Dice rolls when done in view of the camera can be identified, the only negative with regards to the video is the distance from the playfield, giving an excellent view of the space below the playfield where nothing is happening.
And on a final night I would also like to give a note that in this milieu of acrylic tokens some people are willing to break the mould with wooden beads.

X-Wing Video 5
The fortuitous gaming channel once again brings another battle report. This time they appear to be experimenting in un-avoidable damage and multiple action economy.
The video quality is good and clear. The audio quality on the other hand is very low. I had to turn my volume up considerably to be able to hear the conversation between the players and even then the conversation was almost non existent.

X-Wing Video 4
Fortuitos gaming has uploaded a handful of videos in the past month and seems to be shaping up to be a channel that will have more content coming soon.
The video quality is excellent with excellent focuses and all game elements identifiable. But I would prefer to see the camera a little higher and a lower angle so as to better cover the far edge of the play field which can seem a bit distant.
The audio track is very very low so the volume will have to be turned up high. If you do choose to listen to the table talk there's not much chatter between the players, although to their credit they do a great job of announcing their actions so that it is very easy to follow along.
A good video and I look forward to seeing more.
